Voir la suiteThis study is the outcome of close collaborative by a team in Uganda, with technical and financial support from the Joint United Nations Programme on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) (UNAIDS) regional support team for Eastern and Southern Africa, and UNAIDS Geneva. The UNAIDS modes of transmission model was customized for Uganda, and applied, to better understand pattern of new infections. In order to adapt prevention strategies to changing patterns of risk, there is a need to regularly monitor the behaviors that put people at risk of infection and how new infections are distributed among risk groups. There is insufficient understanding of the current modes of transmission of HIV in Uganda as well as where and among whom incident HIV infections are occurring. This implies that national HIV prevention plans are not driven by evidence and may result in a mismatch between populations most at need and those that receive the available resources. Therefore a study was conducted to describe the current status and drivers of the epidemic; identify the sources of new infections and modes of transmission of HIV in Uganda and review the allocation of prevention resources.
